Co-Creator Graeme Mason talked about adding the Supreme Court's decision against patenting human DNA. "We are going to be looking at the issue of the patents and how much legal space there is around that. I find it thematically interesting and quite ominous as well.

“I googled ‘Paul’s rear end,’ and a picture of a bunch of rear ends showed up — that belonged to me. It was a very poignant moment. I called my mom and said, ‘Mom, I made it. My rear end’s on the Internet.’ And she said, ‘Son, I’m proud of you.’”[{"term_id":66,"name":"Comic-Con 2013","slug":"comic-con-2013","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":102,"taxonomy":"media-tags","description":"","parent":0,"count":16,"filter":"raw"},{"term_id":19,"name":"Dylan Bruce","slug":"dylan-bruce","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":22,"taxonomy":"media-tags","description":"","parent":0,"count":10,"filter":"raw"}]1663

Jordan Gavaris said that his character Felix walks around mostly naked.

Tatiana Maslany tackled a few different accents in Season One, but said she's up to try even more in Season Two. "There’s a lot of European dialects I an really interested in. American dialects, too.

Dylan Bruce said he thinks that Paul is still coping with the aftermath of Beth's suicide. "His morals are very compromised in the show. I think they'll take him somewhere very interesting next year."
